Chapter 1625 Long Snake (First Update)
The Major General Commander tried his best to be fair, and even set an example by staying in the weakest group.
With such a distribution, others could not say anything, so they set off separately after the agreement.
To be honest, most people think that the enemy is unlikely to stay nearby after the attack.
The essence of harassment behind enemy lines is to shoot and change places. Even if the strength is very strong, try to avoid being entangled.
However, rescuing friendly forces is the right policy. Regardless of whether the enemy can be found or not, at least it should be done.
But the necessary caution must be there. The three groups all listened to the advice of the Major General and stretched the fleet very long.
However, since there are people who are thinking about dealing with the task, there are people who really want to do something.
This group of three full-strength regiments chose a direction to move forward. There are some small meteorites hundreds of millions of kilometers ahead.
Meteorites are natural cover for starships in space. If the enemy has not gone far, there is a high possibility that they are hiding here.
The fleet rushed all the way, and when it approached the meteorite, the distance between the starships was getting wider and wider.
Among these three regiments, one regiment is a direct regiment, and the other two are local regiments.
The temporary commander of this fleet is the head of the direct regiment, a colonel.
The scouts sent by the colonel were also very methodical. Each regiment sent out a company-level ship and three small ships.
The three company-level ships formed a battle formation as the spearhead to explore the way, and the small ships were the spearheads of the spearhead.
Each company-level ship only sent out one small ship at a time, and the remaining two small ships were on standby in the battleship, keeping in rotation.
The three small ships responsible for exploring the way were testing different directions, so the contact space was larger.
The command ability of the colonel was not strong, but it was also quite satisfactory. The key was to emphasize a farther and wider exploration range.
From this point of view, he still carefully looked for the enemy's traces.
But behind the three company-class ships in the lead, there was another one million kilometers before the second batch.
There were still three company-class ships, and they also brought small ships to radiate and explore the surrounding areas.
After another one million kilometers, it was the third batch, still three company-class ships.
It was not until more than five million kilometers away from the leading troops that battalion-class ships appeared, two of them.
One of them was from the local area, and one was from the direct team.
After another five million kilometers, there were still two battalion-class ships, all from the local regiment.
In short, the fleet was indeed advancing and searching, but the most important thing was its own safety.
Such a formation could only guarantee a straight-line exploration, and the range was not large after all.
Once encountering the enemy, the scouts in front would suffer heavy losses, but at least the information could be guaranteed to be transmitted, right?
The meteorites in this area were not dense, and it was very empty, but some of them were indeed not small.
When the small ship responsible for exploration finds a meteorite, it will take the initiative to go around the back of the meteorite to observe it.
This is the duty of the scout. Even if you are nervous, you still have to do what you should do.
The three company-class ships in the front began to slow down half a day after entering the meteorite belt.
Not long after, the three company-class ships in the back came up - the three ships in the front had completed the preliminary exploration mission and it was time to rotate.
Risky things cannot always be undertaken by a small number of people. The army is fair.
If the scouts insist on continuing to explore, it is not impossible to persist, but in this situation... who is willing to persist?
And if you really insist, you may block other people's merits, which is not very appropriate.
The three company-class ships retreated directly to the large force at the back.
What the alliance military did not know was that this direction was indeed the evacuation direction of Qu Jianlei's fleet.
But it is worth mentioning that their fleet did not actually go far.
When leaving, the soldiers of the empire said that even if the other side had reinforcements, how large could it be?
Compared with the soldiers of the Alliance, these are two completely different attitudes towards war.
It's not that the blood of the Empire's soldiers is really that strong, but these are carefully selected elites, and their mission is to harass.
The Alliance's army is passive in the battle. Not only is the enemy situation unclear, but there are also some internal disputes, which will affect morale.
On the surrounding meteorites, there are actually micro-detectors scattered with digital phantoms, which can be triggered occasionally to transmit information to a distance.
In fact, there are some micro-detection instruments in the starship fragments on that battlefield.
The Empire already knows how large the fleet that came to support is - at least six or seven regiments, and a division-level ship.
With their strength, even if they can bite off such a bone, the loss will not be small.
But they are a little unwilling to leave like this, so they are observing now.
When they found that only a part of the Alliance warships chose this direction, they couldn't help but want to fight again.
As a result, the other party... is too timid, and they have pulled such a long front to pursue. How should they fight?
The major wanted to ask Digital Phantom for instructions, but found that a battalion-level ship was released from the cabin of the division-level ship.
The outer shell of this starship also had the Digital Phantom paint.
This surprised the soldiers a little, but they were more surprised, "Another battalion-level ship? That's good."
Then they saw someone walk out of the battalion-level ship, stand in space, raise his hand, and put away the huge division-level ship.
"Fuck!" The soldiers of the Empire almost dropped their jaws when they saw this, "Can this... still be called space equipment?"
"I don't think it should be called space equipment, it's just a cheat, okay?"
Then, a voice came from the battalion-level ship opposite, "Don't rush to evacuate, wait for orders!"
The colonel couldn't help asking, "Captain Zhenshanbao, what preparations do we need to make?"
The fourth master replied in a deep voice, "It depends on how the situation develops, anyway... prepare for battle."
"Prepare for battle..." The colonel was a little speechless, even the division-level ships were put away, how do you plan to fight this battle?
At this moment, Qu Jianlei and others have been teleported to a meteorite through the teleportation array of the battalion-level ship.
It's not that they have foresight. They didn't leave completely, and they must have arranged some back-up plans.
Anyway, the teleportation array is equipped with a timed self-destruct device, so there is no fear of falling into the hands of the alliance.
Two hours later, a small ship came near the meteorite, circled around, and then returned to the company-level ship.
No one in the alliance noticed that this small ship stayed behind the meteorite for a little longer.
The three leading company-class ships not only maintained mutual communication, but also contacted the rear from time to time to ensure smooth information flow.
Five hours later, this wave of spearhead ships could also be rotated and landed directly in the rear.
Twenty million kilometers later, it was the main cluster of this fleet, with three regiment-level ships all here.
The company-level ships that retreated in this wave should have reported to their superiors and told them about some situations.
However, everyone was on guard against possible enemies, so it was unnecessary to report in person - this might affect combat readiness.
It was enough for everyone to communicate through video.
After the three company-level ships reported, they took the initiative to request to delay and merge into the last fleet.
When preparing for war, the military's discipline was extremely strict, but as soldiers, they also understood the hard work of scouts.
The request of the company-level ship directly under the military was rejected, and the colonel asked his soldiers not to make exceptions.
However, the two company-level ships of the local forces were allowed.
However, the superiors also issued a kind warning, "It may not be safe in the back, it is better to cluster with the main force."
However, the two company-level ships said that we just want to relax completely, and our nerves were very tense just now.
Since they insisted, the superiors allowed it. Anyway, the escort team in the rear is only two million kilometers away from the main force.
This defense method is obviously top-heavy, but the possibility of encountering an attack from the rear is too small.
But even so, there are three battalion-level ships in the rear alert cluster, one for each regiment, and one for each regiment, which is fair!
The two company-level ships fell behind, and their own people came to inquire about the news.
The lagging troops are too far away from the spearhead, and many situations cannot be seen, so it is a good opportunity to ask for first-hand information.
Some people's questions were still communicated through video.
However, the two company-level ships did not say much. They simply said a few words and said that they were too tired, and they were not allowed to say more.
This is also the rule in wartime, and no one has any suspicion.
After hanging up the communication, Qu Jianlei sighed from the company-level ship, "These guys...their military discipline is really not good."
Yuanyuan sighed, "This artificial intelligence is really useful, and it can impersonate people so vividly."
Qu Jianlei didn't want some people to feel jealous, so he immediately said, "I have to thank Senior Yi He, fortunately he helped to search the soul."
They were able to capture these three company-level ships mainly because of Xiaohu's invasion and powerful mental attacks.
After capturing the first small ship, it was a matter of course to gradually invade other starships.
In the end, this wave of sharp knife starships was all captured by them.
Claire felt that fighting like this was too comfortable, and couldn't help asking, "Can we solve the cluster in the rear in the same way?"
"Impossible," Hua Xiezi shook his head, "There are too many people in the battalion-level ship, and frequent mental attacks will also be very tiring."
Company-level ships and battalion-level ships are not at the same level at all.
Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, "That's true... Okay, there's another communication call."
The Alliance military never dreamed that without knowing it, a spy had actually sneaked into their team.
There were indeed many people who inquired about the news from Qu Jianlei and his team.
Fortunately, Yi He searched the souls of so many people, and they all knew the general situation, so there would be no problems in addressing or responding.
The more these people inquired, the faster Xiaohu infiltrated these starships - the kind that was silent and unnoticed.
So that later, most of the starships in the lagging cluster were controlled without a trace.
Big-headed Butterfly turned around and proudly showed off to Qu Jianlei, "I can secretly switch the observation video."

Chapter 1626 Upgrading the combat method (Second update)
Xiaohu's operation is very common in normal times, but it is still very rare on the battlefield.
The military is more sensitive to digital invasion than the civilians, not to mention that the Alliance military is particularly wary of this at the moment.
It's not difficult to simply invade, but it's difficult to avoid being discovered, and secretly changing the data is the most difficult.
"Good job!" Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Now all that's left is to wait."
Another half day passed, and the Alliance's spearhead troops were only about one million kilometers away from the Empire's fleet.
Qu Jianlei glanced at Yuanyuan, "Go tell the fourth boss to prepare for action."
They were in a company-class ship of the Alliance, and the space was extremely cramped.
Fortunately, they had cleared the Alliance soldiers, so they could set up the teleportation array without fear.
A flash of white light, Yuanyuan disappeared, and then a ruler flew out of the cabin stealthily.
The fleet cluster behind was originally paying close attention to the movements behind.
But no one noticed that a black shadow appeared tens of thousands of kilometers behind them.
Qu Jianlei originally thought that as long as he waited another three minutes, he could launch a thunder attack.
But what was unfortunate was that someone in the main cluster scanned back and asked a question.
"Why is there a battalion-level ship lagging behind? Check whose sequence it is, keep the formation!"
There are three battalion-level ships in the lagging cluster. Everyone looked at each other, "This is... no one is lagging behind."
"No!" Someone shouted, "There is really a battalion-level ship in the back! Whose is this?"
However, before the voice fell, more than ten starships appeared in the back in an instant. In addition to battalion-level ships and company-level ships, there are also regiment-level ships!
The strange thing is that these starships are all Alliance-standard.
This is the harvest of Qu Jianlei's team in the second annihilation battle.
In the first annihilation battle, he only left the most intact regiment-level ship and a battalion-level ship, and the others were blown up.
This is mainly because the first annihilation battle was a bit difficult, and few of the Alliance's warships were intact.
Qu Jianlei picked two ships with good quality and left them, intending to hand them over to the military when he returned.
For the military, whether it is cracking or pretending to be Alliance warships to enter, this is very useful.
But when he found out that the small ships of the Alliance could be used for unmanned suicide attacks, his mind was instantly opened up.
Coincidentally, they also fought the second annihilation battle neatly.
Not only did they capture a large number of Alliance soldiers, but they also seized a large number of relatively intact warships.
Qu Jianlei believed that these starships could also be used for combat!
Of course, it was unrealistic to expect to sneak into the army in disguise. There was a unique identification code on any Alliance warship.
But no matter what, this was a ready-to-fight capability, right? If it was unmanned, it wouldn't hurt if it was damaged.
So he arranged for Sunset to release mainly these Alliance warships - they should also have the effect of confusing people, right?
He was right. When the people in the main cluster found the first battalion-level ship, their first reaction was "Who fell behind."
But in the end, Sunset still released the huge division-level ship.
"Fuck, Digital Phantom... Is this a division-level ship?" Someone in the lagging cluster shouted in horror.
However, he only had the chance to shout this.
The next moment, the main battleships of the trailing cluster all stopped moving, and even the communication system stopped working.
The main cluster couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they saw this scene.
We were searching for the Digital Phantom, but they directly surrounded our rear?
Well, covering the rear is not the biggest problem. The problem now is... the Digital Phantom actually came with a division-level ship?
"Fight back, fight back!" The colonel shouted desperately, "Let the rear cluster fight back!"
The enemy's division-level ship was only about two million kilometers away from the main cluster, and the rear cluster in the middle didn't respond?
Someone spoke quietly, "Is there a possibility that the warships of the rear cluster have completely lost control?"
The colonel felt cold again when he heard this. This possibility objectively exists, "Then how did they do it?"
"I also want to know," he smiled bitterly, "Is digital invasion really that easy?"
At this moment, news came from the front that the vanguard encountered an ambush by the imperial army.
The colonel heard this and his face changed again, "Is this... wanting to block us from both ends? What a big appetite!"
There are people blocking the road in front and being blocked from the back. Isn't this a double-sided attack?
But the next moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of the colonel's mouth, "This double-sided attack... is mostly intimidation, right?"
The fleet he led had a long enough distance, more than 30 million kilometers from beginning to end.
There is no place where you can't escape on this 30 million kilometers road? Do you have to run to both ends?
So he thought that although both ends were blocked, the significance of intimidation was far greater than the actual significance.
But the next moment he found that the people around him looked at him helplessly, "What are you looking at?"
An older officer twitched his mouth, "They are targeting... the main cluster!"
Don't talk about 30 million kilometers, please figure it out, we are only 2 million kilometers away from the other side!
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the space where the main cluster was located.
With a wave of his hand, he quietly released several battalion-level and company-level ships, all of which were Alliance standard warships.
Then, these starships launched a frantic attack on their teammates.
The figure disappeared in a flash, and then, a battalion-level ship rushed out of small ships continuously, seemingly endless.
And these small ships were also Alliance standard, some were damaged, and some were intact!
Finally, someone reacted and shouted hurriedly, "Be careful, the enemy is using our warships!"
The main cluster could have such an accident purely because... the military's direct troops left their own company-level ships behind!
The people on this starship are Paranoia and Scorpion. Seeing that the other side was already confused, they took the opportunity to sabotage.
Until now, the Alliance's troops have no idea how the other side got in, and they didn't expect that the main force would also have problems.
At this time, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the Alliance soldiers couldn't distinguish between the enemy and us in a hurry.
"Break out in a scattered manner," someone suggested to the colonel, "It's impossible to fight now, the other side has artificial intelligence!"
"Yes, as long as the news of the division-level ships is spread out and the friendly forces are alert, the sacrifice of some people will be worth it."
"There are so many Alliance warships," a trace of sadness appeared in the colonel's eyes, "I don't know what happened to those Alliance soldiers..."
The next moment, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes again, "Report the battle situation and order a free breakout!"
It has to be admitted that many officers in the Alliance are still qualified, and his decision is quite timely.
Even though many people in the Alliance military criticized this decision later, some people really escaped from this battle.
Unfortunately, only one company-class ship escaped.
As Qu Jianlei fired at the rear of the fleet, the imperial fleet ambushed in front also moved out.
The Alliance's spearhead team saw something was wrong and turned around and fled, while warning the friendly forces behind.
They were just scouts and had not been assigned combat missions. Only a fool would fight with a large number of ruthless people on the opposite side.
But it was difficult to escape... Two small ships chased them and fired casually for a while, and three company-class ships were hit.
The damage to the company-class ships was not great, but the problem was... out of control!
Otherwise, Xiaohu didn't dare to exert his full strength before, which was really cowardly - its ability was almost a bug.
But the current situation is too chaotic, and it's not a big problem if it goes a little too far.
The key is that the boss said that we must learn to fight to support the war, and we can't aim to completely destroy the opponent's warships.
The second batch of company-class ships had just relayed the situation to the rear, and they were scared to death when they saw this scene, and turned around and ran without thinking.
When they ran, the Empire's fleet chased them. Seeing that the distance was too far, some Empire soldiers took the collection talisman and boarded the small ship.
After the Empire's three battalion-level ships were implanted with artificial intelligence, the use of small ships was basically unmanned.
However, in this battle, the battlefield was too wide, and relying only on the main battleships to pursue would give many enemy ships a chance to escape.
In this case, the Empire's soldiers said that we can't really completely switch to logistics!
It was also thanks to Qu Jianlei's loan of fifty collection talismans before this, which gave us fifty more small ships with long legs.
In fact, the Empire's soldiers are also very imaginative.
Before setting off, someone asked Digital Phantom, "Can we indirectly command unmanned small ships?"
In short, they currently recognize that the main node of their artificial intelligence is on the battalion-level ship where the colonel is located.
Or on the newly appeared Digital Phantom battalion-level ship.
There is no doubt that these two battalion-level ships have extraordinary computing equipment that can command battles.
But in this way, if the small ship you drive exceeds a certain range, it cannot receive instructions from the main node.
Beyond one million kilometers, data transmission will be greatly affected, and the jamming and data delay will be obvious.
If it exceeds two million kilometers, we can hardly count on the computing power of the main node.
Not to mention the current battles, it is common to chase for millions of kilometers.
The problem of short legs of small ships has been partially solved, but how to make good use of artificial intelligence?
In fact, this is not a big deal. Small ships have their own computing power, and artificial intelligence can also command battles on the terminal.
However, the computing power of small ships is limited. It is not a big problem to command a starship, and it can't handle more.
Moreover, a small ship may not be useful to catch up, right?
What these soldiers think is that we drive one ship ourselves and bring one or two unmanned small ships.
The problem of short legs of unmanned small ships can also be solved. At most, the two ships will meet from time to time and transport some supplies.
However, unmanned small ships do not have the computing power support of nodes, and no one gives orders, so the intelligence level is worrying.
